Important facts
The Canyon Fire was held at night to 5,370 hectares from Saturday afternoon, because the inclusion rose from 25% to 28%, according to Cal Fire.
The agency said that the overnight fire activity was “minimal” because firefighters strengthened existing control lines, although they noticed that it is called and dry weather is expected to continue in the region, because “historically dry” vegetation contributes to the possibility of “rapid fire growth and considerable fire behavior.”
Previous evacuation – orders in seven zones in Los Angeles County – including the neighborhoods of Val Verde, Halsey Canyon and Castaic – were lowered to evacuation warnings, with eight other zones under similar warnings.
In Ventura County, evacuation orders were lowered in the Lake Piru Recreation Area, east of Piru Canyon Road, east of the community of Piru and east of Center Street and Highway 126.
Large number
